“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
And You are exalted as head over all.” 1 Chronicles 29:11
The definition of jurisdiction is “the official power to make legal decisions and judgments.” In our world, God has the ultimate jurisdiction over life and death. And, He has authority over all things!
God has no boundaries and He never changes! He has power and dominion over the heavens and the earth. He alone can rule with judgment and make decisions according to His Word. Your life is in the mercy of His hands.
You cannot escape God or place limits on His intervention in your life. God wants you to give Him complete jurisdiction over every aspect of your life. God wants you to give up the right to yourself and live for Him.
You cannot experience the transfigured life if you hold back from God. As a believer, you have the life of Jesus living inside you in the essence of the Holy Spirit. You have to choose to live through the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and reject your old self.
Sin quenches the power of the Holy Spirit!
Your old self is an enemy of God and wants to live for self and reject the things of God. The challenge is living in oneness with God and giving no power to your old self. You can do this by inviting the Holy Spirit to have jurisdiction over all of your life. The Spirit will convict you when you relapse into living for self and keep you on track with God.
The Holy Spirit will take what belongs to Jesus and declare it to you. He will supply you with wisdom, strength, and joy. You will see life through the eyes of Jesus.
The Living Water will be your sufficiency to meet every challenge in life. He will do for you what you can never do for yourself.
Jesus lives so you can live!
